like, what is it that you want to play? Just dominate every time?

celest heron
#

who is saying we're against it?

smoky stone
celest heron
#

I mentioned it early, but was just stating what it feels like and not if I was for or against it.

smoky stone
#

my abd

#

bad

celest heron
#

what I don't like about it though is how it makes the matches with skill levels.

#

a lot games will have one person on each team who has to carry hard while one or two of the other ones will get destroyed.

smoky stone
#

could be cause i'm still in gold, but it's interesting.

#

My biggest peeves though are Halo players don't understand the basic fundamentals of team shooting. There's so many icons and information that Halo Infinite tells you where you need to be aiming and looking...but I feel like people just don't understand it.

#

For example, when a teammate is being shot, there's a ! that shows up on their icon, that means your teammate is in a fight, and maybe you should look that direction and start shooting. Then there's the dreaded "X", it's typically an easy wipe up kill if you just look that way or travel that way....

#

which rank class is considered lower level? Golds are trash.

#

I can't believe there's a bronze, silver, gold...

#

think about that, there's three layers of halo players who dont get the basics lol

#

that's just sad.

#

I solo most of my halo mp, I'm G6 in ranked slayer, and I have 3 points left to get to Plat 1

#

and it sucks to lose a game and get knocked back down to mid gold 6

celest heron
#

I'd be interested to see how many players fall into that rank range due to aiming issues cause that's where and why I fall into it.

smoky stone
#

Halo is one of those games that's been around as long as Counter-strike, and I'm truly surprised how bad people are who play Halo. I guess it's a console thing?

#

I've had some sweet matches in ranked arena (I'm in plat) where you get these teammates that dont even need to comms on the mic, they just know visually and positionally where things are happening and where they need to shoot, it's like a sweet science.

ROFL. I played both CS in 1999 and then HCE in 2000 when it released, and have always played both games over the years. But even if you didn't start back then, there's been so many Halo titles that I would assume the general population understands the basic fundamentals of multiplayer lol

onyx latch
#

I don't think most of the halo community has the media literacy required to intuit a pamphlet about how to make cornbread, if I'm being brutally honest.

smoky stone
#

I feel like a COD player today understands COD more than a Halo player today understands Halo, and Halo started before COD šŸ˜‰

smoky stone
onyx latch
#

Not that surprising, but I've also met some truly terrible CoD players.

#

Not CoD, but I know more than one guy who insisted they're a hot sniper in BF4 only for them to get less kills than tuberculosis in a modern ER across 100 matches.

smoky stone
#

I will say this, as a gamer, I've played many FPS games throughout my life, and Halo has always been the fall back game that you can always depend on. If I had to pick my top 3 FPS games that are always consistent, they're Halo, Counterstrike and Quake.

onyx latch
#

You encounter a very, very broad skill gulf in FPS games, tbf, either way; I've had 2/15 matches in Halo and 40/2 matches in Halo, in the same game night in the same region.

#

Maybe not the same mode, but same person-me.

#

Might also just be stuck in a match that happens to be kryptonite for Thing 1 and Thing 2.

#

And 3 and 4 and 5 and so on.

smoky stone
#

for sure.

#

ive always wondered, since we have such a better Forge now, and pretty solid custom settings options, I'm really surprised no one has tried to re-create Quake 3 movement/maps in Halo Infinite.

#

Campgrounds and Aerowalk from Quake 3 would be amazing Halo maps

oh man, I made it out of gold ranked slayer

So I just came back to infinite after 2 years and they still haven't added any new vehicles? The only new stuff I saw was the bandit and shroud

summer herald
#

is it just me or does infinites aim feel different after the update

open galleon
#

feels nice to me

#

they fixed desync or something

#

though i haven't played in like 2 years so idk

#

it's taking forever to get a quick play match

#

do i have to join a different server or something

frosty condor
#

Make sure to have your setting set to expanded to explore other server regions

open galleon
#

just got one, playing at slow times i guess

frosty condor
#

Yep, NA is still asleep

smoky wave
#

Wake up

open galleon
#

do you guys watch replays of your matches

#

Yup

#

How I learn from my mistakes

open galleon
#

i haven't played in two years and it's kinda sad that we can't rewatch matches from then

#

but i understand it takes up a lot of room

#

how long before they get deleted?

In Infinite and MCC, yes

yeah i see thanks.

#

how is halo 2 campaign possible on legendary? I simply dont have enough ammo to kill everyone on the first mission in one of the bays

celest heron
#

uses nades and the plasma pistol overcharge

civic sundial
#

Abuse every single exploit within the game that you can

#

And pick a god and prey when you encounter Jackal snipers

blissful vortex
#

well idk elites just rush at me and they simply outdps me

#

and I cant even peek from a distance cuz they have wh and shoot me even behind walls

celest heron
#

you don't need to be close to them. get on the upper platforms and then peak shoot

#

use the overcharge on them and they'll be stunned so you can headshot them.

blissful vortex
#

they are still prefiring me tho and I dont have enough ammo to kill them because once their shields are down they just get behind cover

celest heron
#

you can also bait them to get them to walk close to you and then you peak and shoot them.

#

if you're close to the beginning, I would just start over and use the plasma pistol strat so you can save ammo.

Hey I haven't used Halo Forge yet, but how easy is it to collaborate with other players when it comes to making maps?

Grab a friend and load into the mode

#

Are there any issues with servers for Halo Infinite at the moment?

hexed stone
#

Iā€™m having a problem canā€™t load a game says unable to start a dedicated server

tough temple
#

Okay, cause I couldn't find a match in Quick Play and I was curious what was going on lol

#

Just searches forever

hexed stone
#

Yea no Iā€™m guessing we having the same problem or similar ones

tough temple
#

I'm guessing it's an issue with Xbox, and south america has like 7 xbox players and 1 pc player, so that's probably why I can't find a game lmao

#

Guess I'll try searching another time

crystal iron
#

i cant logging in the game is so slow

#

why the login in the game Itā€™s taking so long right now

blissful vortex
#

if we go from mcc campaign to halo infinite is there going to be any important things we miss in between?

#

Ive seen theres halo 5 between which apparently sucks and not on pc either plus those mobile ahh looking games that I dont really wanna play

The weighting is very wrong on objective games lol, I can go 17/2 and still loss 3-0 in CTF like come on, I was pulling their flag eevry time, I am not just wasting time doing slayer but the team was no where near

#

not sure why but these 8v8 game end too quickly like max 5 mins each,

celest heron
full warren
#

Yeah but its immposible to do that with random people in a squad battle lol

#

the other team literally ran flag down middle 3 times, and no one stopped them

#

Right down the middle, not even trying to go hide but casually running middle

celest heron
#

that's just unaware/bad teammates. not much you can do.

full warren
#

also not sure why but all quick player matches are now USA server

vast nova
#

one of my buddies who is a Banjotuber Wants to get into Halo

#

which one should he start with campaign wise

coarse dagger
#

Most folk would say go in release order, so start from Halo CE and then progress on from there -> 2, 3, ODST, Reach, 4, 5, Infinite

vast nova
#

ok got it

full warren
#

lets hope 343 have not just mess up the servers, I am UK and I only get usa server quick play and terriable packet loss now..... this never happend in the 2.5 years I played this game and only today seem a coincidence.

analog salmon
#

Are you on local only matchmaking

#

Maybe they just removed the soft geo locking the game use to have

full warren
#

its shoudln't matter I never touched that setting i always gotten local

analog salmon
#

Yeah cus they use to geo lock you

rugged quartz
#

On US servers its worse for him, he's UK

full warren
#

US server is basicly unplayble if you are used to 10-20 ping local server then get hit with 88-128 ping, its a totally different game and this update mean the lower ping you have the better too

analog salmon
#

Just set it to local only

#

I havenā€™t had a non European server with local tonight

#

The expanded option working and letting you play on American servers is a good thing no?

#

It was always borderline unplayable for me on anything but Europe or East US

full warren
#

I switched it H3 play list and that is fine, seem to be only quickplay, however i imagine quickplay is the one with most players lol so no idea why usa is the perfered one for that

analog salmon
#

ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

#

If expanded works it just finds the quickest match regardless of ping

Does anyone have a proper guide on how to link waypoint with fireteam raven? I'm on vacatiom and theres a cabinet at my hotel. I played through the game tgis morning but I don't think I linked properly. I really want to get that nameplate for mcc so any help would be great

rugged quartz
#

Oh i'm trying to remember, I know it's very annoying to do it

inland minnow
#

you scan a qr code from waypoint before you play. i think when you lose it resets. in my experience it's always been hit or miss whether it actually stays synced

#

one time i got unlinked mid game but my gf didnt. on the same cabinet, doing it fully coop

rugged quartz
#

after the slash

#

like put your gamertag after players/(your gamertag)

coarse dagger
#

They machine also needs to be correctly linked to the internet and be updated with the latest patches, from what I recall

inland minnow
#

yeah, where i was playing it the internet was very unreliable (caravan park in the middle of nowhere with bad mobile signal) which likely caused my headaches with it

rose shale
#

Ok, so i hit generate qr code? Where do i scan it?

inland minnow
#

there should be a little glass window next to your seat

rugged quartz
#

At the machine. But yes generate your QR code. After that at some point you'll be able to scan it

rose shale
#

Ok, thanks. I tried scanning it in the window this morning but nothing happened

#

Maybe it's the internet or something but i'll try to figure it out

inland minnow
#

it might be that the machine isnt/wasnt currently connected

rose shale
#

Will the machine give any indication that it scanned?

rugged quartz
#

Sometimes it's annoying and will eventually do it

#

I think it does I'm having a hard time remembering

#

You'll see your gamertag on the screen yes

rose shale
#

Do i scan before or after putting credits in and does it have to be before the game has started?

rugged quartz
#

I believe we did it after

inland minnow
#

i think we did it before credits

#

i feel like it counts so long as you're not actively in gameplay, not sure though

#

So how does Infinite really work now since apparently there's no seasons?

#

Are there still battle passes?

#

I'm reinstalling it for the first time since maybe a half a year ago

frosty condor
#

Itā€™s now called Operations

#

Same kinda concept, but not called seasons

#

Thereā€™s a path to earn rewards via playing as always. If you pay 500 credits, you get a premium reward and the Operationā€™s pass never expires. If you donā€™t pay, once the Operation is over, you canā€™t gain progress on it anymore

rugged quartz
#

CU31 was the update that just dropped which hits the timining roughly to what would be a midseason update

regal rock
#

Oh so how do you unlock stuff?

#

I have the first battlepass still, not sure if that is now wasted money if I haven't finished it and unlocked everything lol

#

Maybe I'll like it a little more

#

These games get a little bit better when devs realize their practices aren't sustainable

rugged quartz
#

The good thing is when you buy a pass you can return to it later

#

It's yours to keep, not an experation one like other games do it

#

In the main menu, you'll have to hit the pass switcher. Top Right corner should say twhat button it is. The current operation is Cybershowdown III. It has 20 tiers that are free at the moment but a new operation comes in april.

#

You can switch to that one and complete it then continue working on the first season pass

regal rock
#

Oh, customization seems better

#

I can use different helmets on different cores I guess?

#

Honestly not sure why they donā€™t just have one single body like it used to be

rugged quartz
#

Yep! Crosscore helmets and shoulders now

#

Most coatings are crosscore as well

rugged quartz
regal rock
#

In classic Reach youā€™d just have a single spartan who could wear any armor piece

#

Just be pretty hard to believe now

#

For some itā€™s probably just a myth, content you get by buying the game.

rugged quartz
#

Different monetization and support systems

#

But I do agree we should have earnable credits and fair prices

#

Make it easy for people to just buy something and not feel like they had to spend so much on one thing

#

But also let people be able to earn things they want if they work for it

white birch
#

Hopefully that'll come in a future update

rugged quartz
#

That would make a few people play infinite again that i know if they did that. I was curious and asked them if they did that would they.

regal rock
#

Shame too

#

Infinite feels so good to play, generally

#

I love classic halo but something about the feel of this one is just really nice

#

No resolution options though on PC I guess

#

On the menu my little grey bar is just kinda floating above where I think itā€™s meant to be

Seems Shadowplay no longer works with Halo Infinite since adding Anti-Cheat. Shadowplay clips onto the Easy Anti Cheat window when booting up the game and not Halo Infinite. Does anyone know what might fix this by any chance?

#

Hey I am running out of ideas on where to look, ever since the new update I just can't play Halo Infinite anymore. I can't get past the main menu screen. I press start and I just see the empty ring art with cropped white text that says "Platform" in the middle. I've tried resetting my PC, reinstalling the game, etc. Does anyone have any idea?

if they will give halo to playstation then xbox is doomed and noone will buy it

playstation has almost all good games. halo is almost the only one good exclusive. at least for me

okay

so what's the problem if microsoft and 343 decided they wanted to branch out further

and strike a deal with sony

if sony gives microsoft helldivers 2 on xbox then okay. but if we will not have anything from it then its... useless

but i dont like them

okay unfortunate to hear that you couldn't play it

hard surge

everyone will be happy

every side will profit from something

and all players could play with their friends even if they have different consoles

i know its sounds like a nonsense but..

just should not exist it's just a scummy marketing practise

but... im happy i have an xbox to play halo. but of course there are games on playstation i want to play too... i understand that old games are exclusive but new ones? its just... wierd.

and I played halo 2 project cartographer then I heard the news that master chief collection was coming to pc all the folks was hyped

when i was a kid i had playstation 2 i played ratchet and clank... and jak a daxter but... and those are like... symbols pf playstation from my perspective. and i understand why they are exclusive. but its the same with halo to xbox

hard surge
#

im not saying that it would not be cool to have halo on playtation but... when was the last time sony gave their exclusive to xbox?

#

thats my point

keen compass
#

I mean you never know I can see that microsoft is trying to change and sony just well doesn't which can be harmful to the company in the longrun

hard surge
#

if sony gives permission to put helldivers 2 on xbox so i have no problem to give halo on ps5

both sides will be happy for a while

and for the record. I'm completely at ease...

i'd probably end this conversation. i don't want any controversy or anything. just my point is that halo should stay on the xbox. That's all.

There's no controversy. It's just an awful point to defend. There's no reason to gatekeep games.

I've been playing Halo for over 20 years. Had a PS2 before I ever looked at buying an Xbox, switched to Xbox because of Guitar Hero. Honestly wouldn't mind if Halo ever made its way to PlayStation consoles, the more players the better. I'm not suddenly jumping ship to another platform if that happens, just like I'll never go back to PC gaming. I like the Xbox ecosystem

misty vale
#

See how hard is that

latent acorn
#

I understand on first party titles exclusives on each respective consoles, it always has been in every console war as far back between Nintendo and Sega in the late 80s till between mid 2001-early 2002. Second and third parties are different story. They release their products on all platforms for easy accessibility for everyone to play. Thats my opinion.

hard surge
#

well if xbox players had some exclusive cosmetics?

misty vale
#

I've been playing games for over 30 years. I was paid to play Halo CE. I refuse to pay for multiplayer, so I never played Halo 2-5 because they were on XBL and F that. I'll never go back to console gaming because you have to pay for the ecosystem.

Halo should be on every device that can run it. More players = better.

halo is built only around DirectX/Direct3D, and Windows/whatever modern day Xbox uses. for MCC, every game would need to be rewritten to have opengl/vulkan support along with any other equivalents used by PS, as well as whatever OS it uses. And it'd need to actually work. And it'd need its own testing setup. And probably whatever bureaucracy is required by Snoy

Linux is and always will be the superior system.

but good luck

but yeah i mean a few more years of content would be great

if they aren't doing any more dev maps then I would expect no more then a few years

i feel like the game needs another dev map for ranked though

something to replace one of the launch maps probs

For me, it's yet unlikely that they stop, until they add a few last missing contents that we all request.

Wise and cool but isntead of telling the forerunner sthey running away from something they started attacked instead lol

#

I mean they could said, hey we being attacked come help us

tulip tusk
#

I'm thinking that's either a plot hole or ancient humans were just very aggressive refugees and the F-runners were aggressively defensive. Maybe they said look we are in trouble and have to do this and the F-runners didn't trust or believe bc they are smug know it alls

#

Perhaps the F-runners under Didact were like the Covenant Prophets, but with more understanding of the universe (ie Precursors role in it all). I think the general F-runner had no idea the Precursors used to exist, only the powerful ones remembered, secretly. That the F-runner place in the universe as gardeners was kind of a lie considering they killed their makers in order to retain power. Maybe they knew the Precursors liked ancient humans and hated that they did. They used any reason they could get to convince their people to war with the kind their Precursors preferred. With ancient humans openly "invading" worlds in order to aggressively escape the flood, an excuse was easily made

full warren
#

didn't didact only came to be after the war started

tulip tusk
#

Not sure but maybe a war was a way for a didact to be given great power in the ruling class. Idk who was heading the F runners before the war. Maybe a builder. A council. Or a senate of sorts. I can't remember how they ran their thing. I believe it was ruled by F-runners genetically built or transformed for their roles, so a war leader Didact role would be very powerful during wartime.

Not constant, but more frequently than 1 (slightly different same model) gun all this time. Somehow obliterating sandbox is overrated imo, just add fun guns, it's a game supposed to be fun. Halo 5 warzone had a ton of fun weps so 343 has the skill to do it.

Can leave certain guns out of competitive scene.

I mean, FFA should be fairer in theory as they only have to balance the skill rating of individual players rather than teams. The issue I've found with Infinite's SBMM is that it'll balance the skill rating of the teams, but it'll have an excellent (or more) player(s) on each team and then fill the rest of the roster with noobs. it's not a critique necessarily, as it likely reduces wait times, but it's for sure a thing I've noticed.

#

So my advice would be to try to avoid the good player on the opposing team if you can. That's if you care solely about your K/D performance of course.

Can definitely be done. I recommend using the "Design Set" objects i think theyre called in Forge menu. You can build anything with those objects and choose any 'accent' skin you want. It's how i made most of the covenant style hangar bay in this one map im forging atm. Maybe ancient humans can use covenant accent pieces but different color or skins. I'd imagine ancient humans to have an off-colored covenant metal or forerunner metal look to them, that's doable. Or a blend of covie and forerunner fx with some UNSC accents

Just played Ranked Slayer against a team that had an onyx level player for time played, 5,384 games and this person was still trash. Amazes me that a player of that many games still doesn't grasp simple concepts of Halo.

fallow merlin
#

One of the things that really doesnā€™t get talked about enough with the Bungie era Halo music is the way Marty and Michael used percussion.

#

All 5 of the games had a very unique usage of drums and percussion that gave part of the Halo sound. And they also had a willingness to make tracks that were just percussion and nothing else. I think thatā€™s a big part of the reason for some of the comments about why 4 and 5 didnā€™t feel like Halo music. The drums and beats were much more generic.

#

Infinite did a good job of bringing back those Halo-type beats (though on The Road something sounds a little off to me) . But it could have used some more moments to just let the percussion shine on its own like the OG games used to.

It doesn't sound like you are if you can't make your own goals/fun. You should remember how the before times were. Battlepass? Nah, play have fun, laugh, move on to the next game. You don't need to be on a treadmill all the time.

#

you said fun isn't enough

sullen owl
#

Which is, as we know, the only worthwhile reason to play a game. It's a leisure activity. If you're not having fun, don't do it. Use your time for something more meaningful. Something fulfilling. When it's a drain, it's not a game, it's a job.

zealous panther
#

i will put it in other way. if i have fun playing game one and have fun playing game 2, assuming the fun i feel about the same, i will probably choose the game i have some kind of goals.

sullen owl
#

That's a much better way to put it, that I can understand. However, you can also make your own goals. There's no need for a company to make a treadmill checklist for you.

#

A game company's checklist will always be superficial compared to your own PR goals.

#

Unless their only goal system is a personal leaderboard.

zealous panther
#

again, goals not the main reason to play obviously, for example even if i like fortnite skins or battlepass system, i just don't like the game. i will play halo anyway if i had to choose. I just want something visible to work toward something in the game now

So you want to make halo into cod? Meh

zealous panther
#

no?

civic sundial
#

Nothing about that suggested making Halo into COD

#

That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing Halo explore weapon attachments within PvE settings. Like imagine if when you grab weapons at an FOB, you could add a silencer to your BR. Again, I would only want this in PvE environments

onyx latch
#

I'd want it in all environments.

sharp summit

Weapon attachments would be nice

#

A diving or crawling feature would also be cool to have in the game

civic sundial
#

I feel like sliding does basically the same thing as diving in terms of mechanics and I don't really see the point of adding prone as an additional stance players can take in game for gameplay

#

I am curious what attachments other people here would like to see. Because I would love to see basically all of Halo 5's brought back

i would like attachments with stats in pve and only cosmetics in pvp

Like a bayonet or longer range version of a bandit or something

civic sundial

misty vale
# zealous panther no?

Halo wouldn't be halo if you had to play it a lot to unlock guns, attachments, and loadouts, like in helldivers, cod, battlefield.

It's an arena shooter. It is only meant for fun and the only unlocks possible are cosmetic.

zealous panther
misty vale
#

Yeah you said both things and are now trying to what like gaslight me?
Here's what you said:

I just want something visible to work toward something in the game now

you can take something like unlocking guns in battlefield, perks and stratagems in helldivers, attachments in cod. this is all a progression, and not all of this is cosmetics.

#

The implication is that you want something that is not cosmetic, after getting told that cosmetics don't affect the game at all, are meaningless pixels which literally no other player cares about

zealous panther
#

you can't read the last part of what i said or what?

misty vale
#

but here's the thing is in an arena shooter people need to have access to all the guns

#

there can't be an unlock progression because that makes the game more alike COD, than classic halo, and COD sucks.

#

because there is a gun and unlock progression system and so you have to grind to compete, which is horrible game design

#

and it cannot be said enough: When cosmetics are as expensive as they are in Halo, nobody cares that you have them. They're not prestigious. They make you look like you have a neat spacemen, are bad with money, and then everyone forgets you exist after the intro screen.

#

if you play Halo for unlocks, then you don't enjoy the game. Play something else.

#

video games are, first and foremost, for fun

balmy wedge
# civic sundial I am curious what attachments other people here would like to see. Because I wou...

I'm not huge on differences that are semantics in the long run, if attachments are added, they should be easy to understand for a new player so I'd make them pretty grand scale and affect base differences in weapons:

  • Having a scope (or double scoped) in the first place,
  • Being bladed,
  • The ammo type,
    I think swapping an assault rifle ammo type from kinetic to plasma or having a shock-based bulldog could be neat.
misty vale
#

if you find yourself craving the dopamine hit of a battlepass unlock, then you are a great customer. I'll admit that.

regal rock
#

Adding blades to weapons yourself would be broken as hell, no?

zealous panther
#

so you just decided to ignore. sure

misty vale
#

you said both things

regal rock

Blades should be brute exclusive, map weapons

civic sundial

my response to the 2nd thing would be "You shouldn't be playing this game for cosmetics."

regal rock
civic sundial

It was never some hardware limitation, it was by choice

if you play a game for cosmetic unlocks, you don't enjoy the game, you enjoy cosmetic unlocks. I recommend The Sims. It is a wonderful game.

regal rock
#

Mods, kill this user bruh

balmy wedge
# civic sundial I don't see ammo types being done, as that would be hard to explain, especially ...

And balance would be killed, but if it's a campaign exclusive then balance isn't quite as crucial.
I was actually wondering about silencers and considered them since stealth is so crucial for Halo.
Though I think it should be "does it have a bayonet/silencer/scope" rather than "what kind of bayonet/silencer/scope". Halo 5's weapon customization kind of annoyed me because of how many scope types there were.

regal rock
misty vale
#

because the cosmetic treadmill is how they sell people free to pass gaming, and free to pass gaming is notably worse

balmy wedge

even something like q3 arena as pure arena fps has skins. denying that it is meaningful part of the game is absurd(even if at some point you will just disable all textures just to see everything simple and bright)

civic sundial
balmy wedge
#

I've never played the old Call of Duties, sadly.

Fair

#

The TLDR is that you could choose 2 to 3 attachments to a single weapon

#

It has been many years since I played one so I am no doubt forgetting something

misty vale
zealous panther
# misty vale My point is that if Halo: CE dropped today you'd hate it and the reason is that ...

yes, i would probably not play halo ce if it was released today i think. I played it back then and since then a looooooot of times, and with how games changed i don't think i would tolerate a lot of things i loved before or things were ok back then but not good rn. But again this is speculative because i do have a lot of emotional and nostalgia baggage attached to it and replay it again and again to this day... and even then i do not play mp of halo ce anymore.

misty vale
#

The reason that I like Halo Infinite is because the gameplay is the closest it's been to Halo: CE, but with more fun guns, and equipment which is better than any other FPS, and the seamless mix of vehicle and soldier combat is exactly what I want.

There's problems but "not enough unlocks" isn't one of them. I'd prefer the developers to work on more maps, guns and equipment, and modes.

onyx latch

It just had so many weird quirks in terms of what was gated to when, how.

civic sundial
#

Aye, and especially after new attachments were added like the Covenant scope where you couldn't use them with attachments like the silencer

A more typical loadout system honestly would've made way more sense, but overreaction to ludditic criticism hampered the hell out of the situation.

Though I do wonder how much of that was just the engine being the engine.
